Frozen Lake

About the performance

Rock music meets contemporary dance on a frozen lake. Rosea Dans performs with modern choreography influenced by contemporary dance and ballet to music by Canis Lupus – a famous 90s goth rock band from Lindesberg that has established itself in the subcultural scene.

The dancers follow different patterns of choreography that match the dramaturgy of rock music. They have a creepy and unpredictable aura that leads one to darker thoughts. Mixed with dance sequences, they also read gothic poetry through microphones that distort their voices. The poetry is about unpleasant emotional states that are portrayed through performance. They show all this with voice, movement and expression.

Participating on stage Jessica Andrenacci, Signe Willmarsson and Lovisa Abrahamsson
